Pros

Met some really cool people in my time there. Pretty decent benefits, but you need to be there an entire year to get any of them besides health insurance. (Average salesperson lasted 2-3 months tops). You usually work every other Sunday and they're short shifts. It seems like the service technicians are actually taken care of.

Cons

Pitiful base salary compared to other dealer groups that use a base+commission structure. Commission structure is nothing like any other dealership, you could make the dealership several tens of thousands of dollars but if you didn't make enough phone calls or get enough reviews back from customers then they'll shame you and not pay you a dime. I've sold 15 cars (this would usually pay around $5,000-7,000 in commission in my market) and only got a paycheck for $600 over not spending all day talking on the phone. Management makes it very clear they have no interest in your health or wealth. They often require you to work 10-15 days in a row, all 10-14 hour days.

Pros

I enjoy meeting our customers. No days are the same. Flexible schedule. I'm the face of Hendrick GM parts and understand the importance of my role in keeping our customer base and expanding it.

Cons

None. I have great support and I bring back information that helps determine decisions to improve sales.

Pros

Solid corporation Corporate culture is positive Community initiatives are second to none Free health care Freedom to move

Cons

It's sales. When the economy is soft, commissions can be tight. Most locations work on a volume pay plan rather than gross profit. Most of your coworkers' primary qualification is the ability to fog a mirror. While you can largely come and go as you please, it's still expected that you are on the lot no less than 50 hours a week, leaving very little room for work-life balance.
